Fearless // h.s au

Chapter 3

I was hiding in the closet; momma and papawere looking for me again. I knew they were mad. I could tell by their loud screams of my name and their hard steps against  the floor.

I stood quiet, hoping that they would go to sleep. The door opened wide and loud.

" There you are little girl, " sneered  papa. He grabbed  me by arm harshly.

" Ow papa that hurts. " I screamed at him.

" Well you should have thought of the consequences of hiding  from us little girl."

" Let me go! "

" I will show you what  happens when bad little girls don't obey their parents."

We lifted his free hand and swung at my face.

--------------------------------------------------------

I jolted awake; the nightmare having me wake up in sweat and tears.

This was the first time in months. I knew that it would always happen  but I expected them to be gone for a little while longer. I turned to look at my clock and it read 4:38 A.M. Seeing as I was not going to be able to fall back asleep, I pulled up my favorite book Freewill  and decided to do a little reading.

By the time I finished a few chapters, the clock read 6:02 A.M. I grabbed my towel and headed for the shower. Once I was done I went back to room and changed in to my clothes for school.  I never felt the need to look super good for school. I wore whatever feels comfortable for me. I applied some mascara, grabbed my backpack and headed downstairs.

I went in the kitchen. Sam was making breakfast and John was reading his daily newspaper.

" Good morning hon," greeted Sam.

" Morning Sam," I greeted back. Despite what went down I greeted John.

He looked up and smiled weakly at me.

" Hey can we talk later John?" I asked softly. I need to talk about everything. I new that I went out of line by yelling at him but I need him to explain his reasons too.

"Yes, of course," he replied. With that I grabbed an apple from the fruit basket and my car keys from the wall. It was bit of relief to be and only child, yet it was also a pain because I was lonely

Being an only child was a pain because I was often very lonely and had no siblings to mess around with. One of the perks of being an only child was having my own car. I've this car for about two years and it was my baby.

I turned on the car and drove out the driveway. I put some soft music on and hummed to the tune. I kept thinking what I was gonna say to Cece and Josh. I owed them an explination, but was  I really ready to face them ?

I arrived at school. I parked in my everyday spot. I spotted Cece and Josh from afar on one of the benches. I walked over to them.  They walked over to me and engulfed me in the biggest hug. I felt the tears wanting to come out but I held them in.

" I'm so sorry Alex, I forgot how much of atrigger John said it was for you and I was so stupi-"

" Cece, CECE. Its okay!" I interuptted her ranting. " I should be apologizing for not tellign you guys in the first place. It was just too much for me at the time, and I didn't want you guys to think differently of me. I'm sorry guys." I explained.

" We understand why you didn't tell us. I'm just glad you're okay now." spoke Josh.

" What did John tell you exactly though?" I questioned. 

" He only told us about what the kids at school would do to you, and why him and Sam adopted you. Well not exactly why and how but he just summed it up." said Cece.

" I'm not ready to tell you everything yet, but I will soon. Can you guts be patient? I'm just asking for a few days. Okay ?" I asked them, hoping they would.

" Whenever you are ready."

" Thank you guys. I really appreciate it."

 Ii hugged them both and we stood like that for a few seconds.

" Now let's get to class before Principle Rose has to see me again for the 3rd time this week," I laughed.

We headed towards the school entrance and walked in. To my luck, the first person we saw was Principle Rose. " Alex, just the person I was looking." He said.

Good morning to you to Principle Rose" I said sarcastially.

" Nnow you didn't forget you had to guide the transfer student right? I hope not because he happened to arrive earlier than said and he is here now in my office." he spoke lightly.

" Fuck, that was today? " I sliiped out. " Language Alex, you know what why do I even retaliate  you if you are just going to keep cursing, anyways, yes that is today and I need you to come woth me right now. I already have excused you from all your classes, minus lunch, and I expect you to be on your best behavior okay? " He explained seriously.

" May God be with me today," I prayed. "Alright."

I turned to face Cece and Josh. " Wish me luck guys !"

" Hey if it gets oout of hand, don't hesistate to look for me and I'll handle it," said Josh whilst crackign his knuckles. He was always so protective of both me and Cece. A trait I always admired about him.  " Thanks Josh but I think I can handle it myself," I reassured him.

" Don't miss the queen too much my beautiful peasants," I bowed to them and walked into the main office, into Principle Rose's office. I saw his messy mop of curls from behind. This wasn't going to be easy.
